Ferrell, Galifianakis, Forte Join Tim and Eric's Billion Dollar Movie

The Wrap reports that filming has begun on the feature film spin-off of Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim's sketch show Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!, and shares a few juicy-but-vague production details: Will Ferrell, Zach Galifianakis, Will Forte, Jeff Goldblum, John C. Reilly, Robert Loggia, and William Atherton will co-star; the plot will follow Tim and Eric as they biff a big Hollywood movie deal and become businessmen in a "semi-abandoned" mall; and the film's budget is, naturally, $1 billion. Go get that Oscar, boys. [The Wrap]

Granted, some great names are lending their fame to the project, but fans might be just a bit disappointed to see that those delightful folks who helped the boys gain their noterity... Ron Austar, Ben Hur, Bob Druwing, Ron Stark, Warren Stearns, Tanese Gray, Palmer Scott, Kazu Nagahama, Michael Q. Schmidt, Ron Lynch, Bob Ross, Chuck Spitler, Sire, etal... are ignored. Welcome to Hollywood.
